$1.00 off if you refill today as well!

I am thinking more Glitter and Gold and then either a tin of La La Lemon. Has anyone tried the Jumpy Monkey?

I didn't know about the $1 off. Awesome! I'm heading up at lunch as I also just finished off my Read My Lips.

Have no fear! I'll give it a try.

I just wanted others to have a chance at it first, I was gonna jump on that within minutes of your posting, but if no one else wants it, you can send it to me. ;)

I am off to buy an iced tea pitcher today and some of the single pitcher packs of iced tea flavours. I bought it for my mom for Mother's Day this week and have been pining over it since then. I will post a review after supper, I am planning to try the piña colada flavour tonight. :-BD

Tropicalia? My hands down favourite iced tea! I had been hoarding some from last year and just ran out, so I was super pumped to see it was back. I'm going to go pick up some new flavours too.

I was in last week and scored Gold Rush in the 2/$5 section - it's normally $11.50/50g and this was $5 per 50g! I bought 150g! It's one of my faves, but is so pricey since it is a white tea.

I spent way too much! But my cupboard is stocked up. :D Today's purchases included:

Refills of lalalemon and organic breakfast.
100g of Kokomo green ( had a cup this afternoon, if you like green ad fruity you will like this)
2 for $5 of stormy night and decaf earl grey
Single pitcher servings or tropicalia, mango fruit punch and coconut grove
For spending so much I got Mama Mia for free

I have made the mango fruit punch for dinner and I had sip. It was very good!

OK David's Tea fans....the fall teas have been announced!

Pumpkin Chai and Mom's Apple Pie are back. New ones are Spice Cake, Cocoberry and Pistachio Cream. Can't wait to try them out!

I am trying to get over my disappointment that Toasted Marshmallow is not back. I had about 200g of it during the fall, but failed to stock up before it was gone, and now it's not back. :( If anyone has some in their cupboards, I would be happy to facilitate a swap!

Mmm! Pumpkin Chai!

I'm an infrequent tea drinker, but last year, I had tea every day at work. I stopped making it over the summer, but today, it was so chilly in the office that I made a cup of Read My Lips in the afternoon. I can't wait for the holiday teas to come back. I'll be buying a year long supply of the chocolate chili chai.

I also stopped drinking hot tea this summer but I fell in love with Mango Fruit Punch on ice.

I bought some new flavors online Mint Julep (good!) Pink lemonde (good too) and Happy Kombucha which I haven't tried yet.

I already sent my toasted mashmallow to CAW, too bad Scrummy!!

I really hate when they discontinue teas that I enjoy. I still haven't found a decent replacement to Citron Electrisant (I believe it's electrifying lemon in english)... :(

I, too, stopped drinking tea for the summer. But I will be starting up again soon! I have some Read My Lips up for trade. I bought a tinful on faith and, as it turns out, it is not one of my faves.

Toasted Marshmallow was awesome!! The pkg Dr.S sent only lasted one day.

My refills will be Read My Lips, Red Velvet Cake and Peppermint Amour. My David's Organic Breakfast is getting low.

I just went through my cupboard at home since I haven't had tea at home in months. (It's cold in the AC at work, so I drink it daily still.) I still have cocomint cream and a few others.

I drink my daily tea in the morning (travel mug) and afternoon cup at the office even in the summer. I don't tend to drink it in the evening though, or as much on the weekends. I do drink lots of iced teas in the summer, but I prefer the caffeine free ones, so I don't have to think about how much or when I drink them.

I still have almost 150g of cocomint cream stashed away which should last me through the fall!

I find you, CAW and I don't like the same teas at all! I don't like Lalalemon, I like Lemon Oolong but not as much as citron electrisant, I found yellow dragon to be a tea that I can drink each day but I don't LOVE it as much as the other one.
